DateTime "must be a date" only with slashes

When I use the following code I can only fill in (into an inputfield) as follows:

10/10/2014 i cannot fill in 10-10-2014 on firefox

NOTE when using a RegularExpression, it will still give an error when NOT using forward slashes / If the ReGex allows the - or any other symbol, C# itself will still give "must be a date"

Model:

[Required(ErrorMessage = "Field is Required")]
[DataType(DataType.Date), DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:dd.MM.yy}", ApplyFormatInEditMode = true)]
public DateTime Bday { get; set; }

Create.cshtml

<div class="editor-field">
    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.Bday)
    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Bday)
</div>

As far as I see, yy format specifier doesn't accept 4 digits year. It accepts only 2 digits of year.

Try to change your DataFormatString like;

DataFormatString = "{0:dd.MM.yyyy}"
